How tall should my bar stool be?
As practical as they are stylish, bar stools rise to the occasion and find their place in all our interiors. With their airy silhouette, they save space and make it easy to eat or work at height around a worktop, a kitchen island, a snack table, or a counter. To ensure you sit comfortably, TIPTOE helps you choose the right seat height for your bar stools and bar chairs.
OUR BAR CHAIRS AND STOOLS
A bar seat height suited to your needs
Who hasn’t experienced the discomfort of a seat that’s too low, forcing you to raise your arms unreasonably high to eat? Our shoulders still remember… Or, on the contrary, the discomfort of a seat that’s too high, making us contort ourselves to fit our legs under the table… Whatever your type of seating, there is one golden rule to know when selecting the seat height that will give you optimal comfort. A closely guarded secret that TIPTOE is finally going to reveal to you! Yes, we know, we’re too good.
How do you calculate the height of a bar stool?
To choose the right height for your bar chairs and stools, you need to determine the necessary space between a seat and a table. To enjoy pleasant moments at the table and sit comfortably, the gap between the seat height and the tabletop should be between 25 cm and 30 cm. Except in the case of a 110 cm or 120cm high bar table, where the gap can be up to 35 cm. Get out your tape measures to check the heights!
To sit comfortably around a bar table in your kitchen, seat height isn’t the only factor to consider. Other criteria matter too, such as seat padding, the presence of a backrest, or a footrest. For a bar table, high chairs and bar stools are always a favorite.
A designer stool for every decor style
These on-trend pieces come in every style to appeal to interior design lovers. In wood or metal, industrial or Scandinavian, understated or chic, minimalist or vibrant, there are as many bar stool models as there are tastes. Take heart: high chairs and bar stools are likely to stay in the spotlight for quite some time… Available in many finishes and several colors, you’re sure to find the bar stool of your dreams.
Furniture with multiple functions
Beyond its main use as seating in the kitchen or dining room, our designer bar stool can serve as a decorative piece of furniture in its own right in every room of the home. Place it in the living room next to your fabric sofa or leather armchair, in your bedroom beside a window or your bed, or even in the entryway as a plant stand.
Which bar stool for a 90 cm table?
The 90 cm-high steel table leg
Snack table, worktop, central island: 90 cm is a very common table height in kitchens and dining rooms alike. It’s no coincidence that TIPTOE’s high steel table legs come in this ideal height. Paired with BRACKET wall brackets, and available in different colors, they let you create custom worktops or modern snack tables.
The steel table legs, thanks to their simple, refined design, fit into every style of kitchen or dining room: modern, Scandinavian, industrial, bohemian, vintage, contemporary. Our 90 cm-high table legs are perfect for designing a worktop, a central island, or a high table in your kitchen or dining room. What’s more, their modular, adjustable clamp system adapts to any type of tabletop.
What height for a 90 cm worktop or island?
To transform your worktop into a dining area, or enjoy your snack table without taking up floor space, bar stools are a winning choice. No need to go into detail to understand that to sit comfortably at a 90 cm-high tabletop, the seat of your bar stool should be around 65 cm high.

The VENEZIA recycled plastic bar stool, a unique piece of furniture
Another white kitchen, another mood. At Huisgeluk’s home, the MI LOU bar stool proudly shows off its comfortable recycled plastic VENEZIA seat. With its rosemary green legs, this stool brings a very natural touch to the furniture in this kitchen, where wood and greenery take centre stage. A plant-filled cocoon that her cat certainly seems to enjoy!
A modern kitchen with the MACCHIATO design bar stool
For an ultra-contemporary look, set your sights on the MI LOU MACCHIATO bar stool. With the black and white speckling of its recycled plastic seat, this modern stool brings character and style to your interiors thanks to its subtle details. Just like in this kitchen, which showcases polished concrete in neutral tones. We love pairing the softness of plastic with the brutalism of concrete. A bold combination for an interior unlike any other.
Extra comfort with design bar chairs
For those who can’t imagine life without a backrest, TIPTOE has designed the SSD bar chair, in wood or recycled plastic. A comfortable, essential seat that should quickly find its way into your interiors. The seat and backrest of the bar chair, in recycled plastic or wood, pair with a metal base in black, white or green.
The SSD chairs in recycled plastic take centre stage in Nicolas’s kitchen. Their all-black look contrasts with the pristine white kitchen units and brings an unmatched modern style. A winning choice for this chic kitchen, where plastic has found pride of place. Thanks to its minimalist design and comfortable backrest, the SSD design bar chair can also serve as seating for your office corner.

A comfortable, design-led bar seat
The TIPTOE community has already embraced the SSD bar chair. Just like in Nathalie’s kitchen with its delightfully pastel tones. A seafoam green fridge, pink marble and a wooden SSD bar chair with a eucalyptus grey base: these details create the perfect combination for an atmosphere that is both stylish and serene. This kitchen is so beautiful that you’d almost struggle to cook in it, just to avoid making it dirty!
What height stool for a 110 cm bar?
Counter, bar table, snack table or standing table, 110 cm-high tables are no longer reserved solely for bistros and cafés. Today’s kitchens are happy to give them pride of place to suit contemporary lifestyles. As functional as they are beautiful, high tables let you work, have a coffee or grab a quick bite while standing.
The 110 cm-high steel table leg
To embrace this trend, TIPTOE designed the high table leg to create a bar table, a standing desk, a counter or a high console to be fixed to the wall. Just like Julie, who created this raised dining area between her kitchen and living room. Embracing the trend for natural materials, she paired a wooden wall-mounted table with Scandinavian-inspired stools. The little detail that makes all the difference? Wicker placemats and a rattan pendant light to warm up the atmosphere.
At Isabelle’s, the 110 cm bar table legs are paired with BRACKET wall mounts to create a beautiful wall-mounted bar table. Our BIG LOU bar stools, with a solid oak finish and black legs, slide under the table to save space. Designer and practical furniture for a superb décor!
What height for a 110 to 120 cm bar table?
To sit comfortably around a 110 cm bar table, you will need a chair or bar stool 75 cm high. TIPTOE has thought of everything with its 76 cm-high BIG LOU stools and its 75 cm SSD chairs in wood or recycled plastic with a backrest.
Designer, timeless and durable bar seating that fits into every interior with disarming ease. We love the use of BIG LOU bar stools in eco-certified wood in Muriel’s New York loft style, in Marta’s kitchen with bohemian-chic accents, in Dee’s indoor garden or in Mamiplatz’s decidedly industrial dining area.
Our designer bar stools fit effortlessly into every interior décor style: modern, Scandinavian, industrial or bohemian.
At TIPTOE, we designed 90 cm table legs and 110 cm table legs. Their modular, adjustable clamp system adapts to any type of tabletop.
